Traditional Vows
I will ask each of you separately:
Do you (name), take (name) to be your (husband/wife/partner). To have and to hold, to love and to cherish...
Once done, I'll indicated for you to say, "I do".
Write Your Own
If you choose to write your own vows (recommended), a common structure is to acknowledge some of the things you love about your partner. These can be funny and/or serious. Then you'd want to make 5-10 promises (vows) to your partner; these can also be funny and/or serious.
